Why Choose the Pizzato NX B42AZ1SMK-F60 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX B42AZ1SMK-F60 is a compact RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for reliable monitoring and controlled locking of movable machine guards. Part of the advanced Pizzato NX series, it combines RFID actuator recognition with a bistable solenoid locking system, making it suitable for industrial machinery where access must remain restricted until safe operating conditions have been established.
This configuration operates in Mode 1, with the redundant OS1 and OS2 safety outputs activated when the actuator is both inserted and locked. The switch provides two safety inputs, two safety outputs, separate actuator-inserted and actuator-locked signalling outputs, two solenoid activation inputs and a programming/reset input for comprehensive integration with machine safety control systems.
The NX B42AZ1SMK-F60 operates from a nominal 24 V DC supply and uses a convenient 12-pole M12 connector for electrical connection. Its compact housing measures approximately 30 × 30 × 94.3 mm, while IP67 and IP69K protection, a maximum guard-locking force of 6000 N and an illuminated RGB LED cover make it a robust solution for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches such as the Pizzato NX series combine coded electronic guard detection with mechanical guard locking. In Mode 1 operation, the NX B42AZ1SMK-F60 enables its redundant safety outputs only when the actuator is inserted and locked, allowing a compatible safety controller to verify the required guard condition before hazardous machine operation is permitted.
Separate O3 and O4 signalling outputs provide independent feedback for actuator insertion and locking status, supporting machine diagnostics and control-system integration. Combined with its bistable solenoid, high holding force, M12 connection and robust ingress protection, the NX B42AZ1SMK-F60 is particularly suited to modern automated machinery requiring dependable guard interlocking.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective access panels.
- Industrial automation and robotic cells.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Production and automated assembly equipment.
- Machinery with hazardous residual movement after shutdown.
- Washdown and demanding industrial environments.
- Safety systems requiring RFID guard monitoring and controlled locking.
